  • When the previous generation Moto G came out there were not many devices at that price point that could have provided such value for money specs and thus it was an instant hit. But it's not the same case with the new version, there are many devices to com...

  • Abstract:  Face it: life is more convenient with a smartphone, but if you don't want to spend a hefty $700 on the latest and most-talked about super phones, there's the new Moto G. It's better in almost every way from last year's model, and it won't break your budge...

  • Affordable, Good battery life, Stock Android.
  • No LTE, Subpar camera, Same internals that powered last year's model
  • If you're looking for a quality device with a larger display, while making sure you have plenty of cash in your bank account, the Moto G is still a great choice. It may not have the high-tech features, impressive camera, or nice build materials of a flags...

  • Moto G (2014), like its predecessor, is easily among the most capable Android smartphones you can buy in its price range. The smartphone offers a well-designed, solidly crafted hardware package, topped with up-to-date OS, which is bound to receive updates...

  • Motorola, in its new incarnation, can be credited with reshaping the lower end of the Indian smartphone market. The Moto G, when launched earlier this year, was quite simply the best possible value you could get in a smartphone. It set off a massive chain
  • Average looks and material quality
  • While not quite matching the raw performance of the Asus Zenfone 5, Motorola's latest effort is still a contender thanks to its features and software. The 16GB versions of both phones are priced at Rs. 12,999, but there's an 8GB Zenfone 5 option if you ne...

  • Do you really want a Moto X but hoping the Moto G would suffice? Then, no, you shouldnt. I would even be hard-pressed to recommend this over the Nexus 5 as LGs Google device comes with a faster processor in a slim package. But the Moto G is incredibly c...

  • The first generation Motorola Moto G was called poor man's Nexus, but can the new model live up to those expectations? Well, we don't think the smartphone has enough to retain that title.Don't get us wrong, the device isn't cheap and as a matter of fact f...
